Abstract

In this note we describe our personal encounters with the pp-adic Stark conjecture. Gross describes the period between 19771977 and 19861986 when he came to formulate these conjectures (\S 1-8), and Dasgupta describes the period between 19981998 and 20212021, when he worked with others to finally prove them (\S 9-12).
